Sort and Filter Grids¶
Throughout the SignageLab CMS, data is displayed in grid views (tables). This guide explains how to navigate, sort, and filter these grids efficiently.
Sorting¶
Click any column header to sort the grid by that column:
- Click once for ascending order
- Click again for descending order
- An arrow indicator shows the current sort direction
Filtering¶
Most grids include a Filter panel above the table:
- Enter search criteria in the filter fields (e.g., Name, Owner, Tag)
- The grid updates automatically as you type
- Use the Folder tree to filter by folder location
Tip
Filters are remembered between sessions. If you're not seeing expected results, check that no filters are active.
Grid Features¶
Row Menu¶
Each row has a menu button (three dots or dropdown) providing quick actions:
- Edit, Delete, Copy
- Usage reports
- Scheduling options
- Permission management
Column Visibility¶
Some grids allow you to show/hide columns:
- Click the Column visibility button
- Toggle columns on or off based on your needs
Pagination¶
For large datasets:
- Use page navigation at the bottom of the grid
- Adjust the number of items shown per page
- View the total record count
Multi-Select¶
Hold Ctrl (or Cmd on Mac) and click to select multiple rows for bulk actions.
State Saving¶
Grid configurations (sort order, filters, visible columns) are automatically saved per user, so your preferences persist across sessions.
